My uncle has told me the letter arrived and said Rbt Snr died 1959 I guess it could be worth searching for a few years either side of that. I have no idea of the other sons names or where he lived Thanks

Hi Guys Thankyou for trying to help. This is everything I have to date.
Robert Mcdougall 20/10/1873 Kirkcudbrightshire Scotland.
Parents James and Agnes Mcdougall (nee Rutherford)
Met a Mary Elder and had a child Robert Mcdougall jnr (not Married)
Born Dec/1904 Hexham Northumberland England Baptised New Abbey 1905 RC
!911 census shows both Roberts as living with James and Agnes in Troqueer Dumfries Scotland.
My Grandfather (Rbt Jnr) told me that his father left him and went to live in New Zealand when he about 6 so as on census 1911 Rbt senior probably left 1911/12 The only time he was ever heard of again was when a letter arrived stating that Rbt Jnr had inherited a share in a sheep farm with his 2 brothers. Rbt Jnr declined it and sadly threw the letter away. He wanted nothing to do with his father as he felt he had been abandoned. That's all I have
